The New England (New Orleans) Country Store
I grew up in Massachusetts, in the hill towns. Once or twice a week, I would go down the hill with my mom or dad and as most young kids did, I would be looking forward to the eventual stop where I got some sugar. For me, this was a little store we just called 'the country store' in Charlemont, Mass. Its real name was Wells Corner Country Store, and Mr. Wells, and sometimes his daughter, were always behind the counter. And my prized goal of the day - the penny candy, was as well. It was literally penny candy, getting me 100 Swedish fish or Sour Bears for $1. I feel like my grandfather now saying this, but I have to say - you can't find real Penny Candy anymore. To be fair, I haven't been looking - but for the most part, the idea of getting anything for a penny is long gone.
